My state school (UFlorida) eliminated ED this year and does not have a rolling admissions program. All applications were due 11/1/07, answers due 2/15/08. Applying to one or more EA schools is an obvious alternative to the suggested rolling admissions schools, as a way to (potentially)take the pressure off several months early.
